I fall asleep to the sounds of trains. Around the 5th hr when I woke to the oncoming Freight liner- That Was the Longest One I Ever Seen. It Was awesome seeing it.
after riding 2 eastern routes on Amtrak, i'm sticking to the western routes. the Chicago-Albany trip I took last year was the dirtiest train I've ever been on.
Great ride, i'll be coming over to New York State in July to sample what Amtrak has to offer, this route will be on my list along with Albany to Chicago. I think this railway is ripe for infrastructure upgrade, we have diesel trains here in the UK that are doing 125mph, improve track geometry and switches on this route and release the potential benefits to the area served.
Hello, thank you for your vieos which are shot very well. I watched the one that goes from Los Angeles to San Diego and it was wonderful to discover beautiful landscapes. Thank you so much. Text translated by Google Translate. A French train lover and your beautilful country.
Nice Train Ride I rode another Amtrak Train which is Southwest chief #4 I Only Filmed it Between Leland IL and Chicago IL I also Filmed Metra #1315 Train Ride but Congraulations of the Ten Hour video of your Train Ride Im Very Impressed I will Upload My Train Ride Videos soon Plus When it Met Train #5 it Was carrying MARC Commuter cars
And now new stations are in place at Niagara Falls, Buffalo-Exchange Street, and Rochester! Hope you get to take this trip again. So much has happened in the past five years.
In some senses it is the only Amtrak intercity route and if those slow custom clearance border crossing issues, could be speeded really would be. After all it mainly transverses the old NYC main along the Hudson River route of the20C limited.The most famous train and in the last days of the NYC in 1965-6 the Central was no longer a passenger railway ( it's rival the Pennsylvania still was then at least for show and at unbelievable expense still was with its 125 Metroliners and still all sleeper luxury expresses like the Broadway limited ). Hower the NYC management did say the NY Buffalo and Chicago Detroit were the only viable non corridor routes in 1966 for passengers
I would love to take a train ride, never been on one, but the only time the train comes through my town is at night. UGH! I want to see the scenery, not my reflection out of a dark window. Maybe one day I will be able to afford a train ride through several states. That is my dream. With 5 dogs and 6 birds, though, they come first and I cannot leave them.

2:50:52, Starting here you can see the old remnants of the Old Buffalo Union Station. There an old locomotive on that track as well. I don't know exactly what it is though. Edit: Nevermind, its just a CSX engine. I though it may be a EMC locomotive, Don't know all the names though.
I determined the speed will be around 120 or 140 kph in US, just like intercity through train in Hong Kong. But i love the average speed than enjoying the high speed train once i realised the original pre high speed train can be enjoying a trip view for a longer time. High Speed Train are somehow shortcut the enjoyable time there.
Nice to see it top 100 mph after Schenectady, but really dismaying to see how much it lumbers from the I-87 overpass (near SUNY Albany campus) to Albany - Renssellaer station. That's about 7.5 miles covered in 15 minutes, for a 30 mph average. That's where you hope they could really put some investment in to speed up that seciton. I know the Livingston Avenue Bridge is slated for replacement at some point. Hopefully they'll come up with an option that will raise speeds through there.
I always thought there was a via rail Service that goes from Toronto to Niagara Falls, Ontario. So I guess this is supposed to be it? Do Amtrak maple leaf trains 63 and 64 serve as a via rail for some reason? Can you buy Via rail tickets to ride this?
Just wondering how do you record a video for so long? Space and Battery life are the main things, and do amfleets have outlets on the windows because I plan on recording my trip on the Chicago to Milwaukee trip soon.
Yes, all amtrak cars have outlets at each seat. Space is managed by the fact that I have a 64 gb iPhone 6, but when I do run out, I just shunt recordings onto my computer and delete them off the phone, all while continuing to record with the phone. Multi-tasking at its finest XD.
Where is the connection between Rail Canada and Amtrak trains? Has there been a change of trains / connections? Or did the 2 hour wait take place within the same train that came from Toronto? Thank you very much
There are rumors of Amfleet replacements. Some say Siemens Brightline Cars other say Amlfeet III. The Brightline look similar to the LRC cars. So they should look nice with the GE Genesis Series III
Amtrak doesn't own the track on this corridor. Thus does not maintain it... Freight railroads are happy with 45 MPH speed, and don't mind a bumpy ride...
No...you are a little too far north up the river, plus, there is a bend in the river along the way. But if you are ever in Niagara Falls, Ontario, it is a nice walk from the falls along the river gorge up to the VIA rail station. I've walked it many times.
I saw your link to "full ride on train 64" and I was like "oh that probably means an edited version with the highlights - there's no way anyone would actually film and upload the full 10+ hour ride". But no, you really did mean a full 10-hour ride from Toronto to New York. Wow. Did you happen to note the speed between Toronto and Aldershot? The speed limit is 95 mph, but all the times I've taken Amtrak along that stretch it has only gotten up to 80 mph. Meanwhile VIA and GO do get up to the speed limit.
Well, the train is crewed by VIA rail while in Canadian territory, so idk what the deal is then haha. And yea lol, I don't label something as a "full ride" unless a vast majority of the trip is recorded. In this case, I did need to take a few breaks to eat and take a short nap, but that only cuts the time by about 3 hours.
I was shocked that you saw the CN Tower when leaving the station, but I realized that it was built by Canadian National, a railroad company lol. But damn.........how long did it take to upload this video?
@@FanRailer Did you know you can now livestream these trips? All you've got to do then is save them, unless you want to edit anything. That'll save you lots of extra time. Better yet, it's free!
How long was the wait at Niagara Falls, NY? And why the engine change at Rensselaer? Are the DMs unable to run past there for some reason? Cool fireworks :)
Niagara is usually between 60 - 90 min. Engine change at Rensselaer because most DMs only run between Albany and NYC. DMs can run anywhere the straight diesels can, but since the fleet is so small, they usually stay within that territory. They will run up to Niagara on the handful of Empire Corridor trains that make it up there, and on RARE occasion, they can and will run all the way to/from Toronto.

Believe it or not i was the assistant Conductor on this train from Niagara falls to Albany in this video. The one making the announcements.
I watch this video almost every night and I’m so glad you did it no matter how old it is I love it. Thanks bunches.

I fall asleep to the sounds of trains.
Around the 5th hr when I woke to the oncoming Freight liner- That Was the Longest One I Ever Seen.
It Was awesome seeing it.
Bro you are a legend if you filmed the entire ride
Congrats on having the skill and patience to do this!
Awesome video. Have ever done a full ride from Boston to DC!
When the US/Canada border restrictions are lifted I would like to try this Amtrak route.
This train runs again, but it seems you have to be vaccinated to enter or leave Canada.
Great video, best watched at 2x speed. As for me, I am saving it for when I will take this trip later this year.
Great Video. Two thumbs waaay up!!!
Omg I just got through half of this video where you chase the Csx freight train 🚂 omg that's so cool great video still got 5 hrs left lol
10 hours! WOW. good job.
Muy bueno el video; ese sonido andar de la locomotora y ese traqueteo es facinante. Saludos desde Argentina.
That's Amtrak obviously cause VIA rail never did cross the border and I'm sure need will i know cause I grew up with both back in the 90's
great video and sound
I'LL be excite to ride again!💜
This is amazing! Awesome video.
Very beautiful video and journey
lol videos like this are only for a certain group of people and thankfully I'm one of them, I love watching these videos, they're so relaxing :D
That makes two of us! I also love, love, love airplane videos like this and perhaps even more.
I travel on this line way too much. Also cool seeing you arrive on the lesser used track at Schenectady
Now that is patience and dedication.
I enjoyed the ride.
after riding 2 eastern routes on Amtrak, i'm sticking to the western routes. the Chicago-Albany trip I took last year was the dirtiest train I've ever been on.
This video is wonderful for people to watch that are on a low income baseis or limited income as well made video hats off to who ever made this video
Gracias por esta maravilla. Que grato conocer dos países tan bellos a la vez. Notable.
Nice shot of Destiny USA in Syracuse. One of my favorite malls!

I rode this train when I was 12, on my summer vacation after I finished 6th grade/before I started 7th grade.
Wow...when you record a train trip, you record a train trip!!!
Make more long train rides like this
Ummmmmmmmm,please
I would love to see that! Perhaps the Cardinal for scenery or my ultimate dream..the California Zephyr.

I got a amtrak ride coming up from Rochester ny to fort Lauderdale Florida on July 30th
Man.. the maple leaf is on my bucket list..
Nice job... Make a video inside the train window to look the seat and other things inside on a sleeper coach at night
If your ever back in California, can you shoot some more capitol corridor or San Joaquin Amtrak videos? Thanks.
How much storage space did you need for this 10 hour video? Thanks so much for sharing, and why not take the Adirondack home via Montreal ?

43:57 44:55 45:08 Amtrak Northeast Regional meets the GO Transit.

I hope the Maple Leaf service will be restored soon along with the Montreal connection as we control the pandemic.
Will you take anything that long in the future?
can you please do From New York To Toronto
Fantastic video of the Maple Leaf Fan Railer, have you considered recording a full run on the Adirondack at some point?
What camera did you used
Your going very fast in that station lol

Why were there 2 AMTRAK trains @ Niagara Falls,NY?
The other one was probably one of the Empire Services, because some of them go to Niagara Falls
Nice 👌
why was there a skip in between canastota and the rome amtrak station?
Where is the connection between Rail Canada and Amtrak trains? Has there been a change of trains / connections? Or did the 2 hour wait take place within the same train that came from Toronto?
Thank you very much
Same train just a locomotive swap at Albany
Was the ride smooth? I can hear a lot of movement as the train speeds up.
The Amfleets are getting old, what can I say? Also, the track quality is not always the best lol.
But I will say that the ride was RELATIVELY smooth lol.
There are rumors of Amfleet replacements. Some say Siemens Brightline Cars other say Amlfeet III. The Brightline look similar to the LRC cars. So they should look nice with the GE Genesis Series III
Amtrak doesn't own the track on this corridor. Thus does not maintain it... Freight railroads are happy with 45 MPH speed, and don't mind a bumpy ride...
can you see the niagara falls from this train
No...you are a little too far north up the river, plus, there is a bend in the river along the way. But if you are ever in Niagara Falls, Ontario, it is a nice walk from the falls along the river gorge up to the VIA rail station. I've walked it many times.
Plus he's sitting on the left window n Niagara Falls comes on the right so even if he was sitting on the right then he could have seen a lil bit of it

Its the Same Amtrak Amfleet trainset. Just a Crew change at the Border.
I was shocked that you saw the CN Tower when leaving the station, but I realized that it was built by Canadian National, a railroad company lol.

Is the connection between VIA and Amtrak pretty reliable ?
